Long Ride to the Long Day


TowCaddy is going to go on a long ride to the Long Day! The Golf Wasatch Long Day Challenge is held June 20th, the Saturday before the Summer Solstice (longest day of the year) and TowCaddy is going along for the ride (and the golf)! The tournament is a top notch 4 man scramble that covers three championship courses in Heber Valley. 18 holes each at Wasatch Mountain, Soldier Hollow (biatholon location of the 2002 winter olympics) and a nine hole playoff at the Homestead Resort.

We'll ride all the way to the tournament. Beginning our ride in Salt Lake City, 40 miles away and wrapping it up at the opening reception for the tournament. Along the way we will golf then ride up Parley's Canyon, visit Park City TV and take Jen Hardman golfing, and maybe even pull our carts alongside those Tour of Utah Riders who will be racing in Heber Valley on Saturday. We will be posting a map and a detainled schedule in the next few days.

This year we are setting the standard but for all of you bikers/golfers out there, we are throwing out our own challenge. Next year, TowCaddy will be riding our bikes to the Golf Wasatch Long Day Challenge. If you can do a longer bicycle ride to the Long Day Challenge then we do (pulling your golf clubs), we'll pay part of your tournament registration fee. (We'll figure out the official details later and post those on our towcaddy.com.)

In the mean time take a look at these photos of some of the most spectacular environments for golf that you could hope for.
